A Dreamy October Wedding in Málaga and Nerja
As a Cortijo Bravo wedding photographer, capturing Andria and Dylan’s special day was a true joy. This stunning venue, located near the charming town of Nerja, is a dream location for couples seeking elegance and Andalusian charm. Despite the cloudy skies in October, the soft light created a romantic atmosphere, perfect for timeless wedding photography.
The day began with excitement as Andria prepared in the venue’s elegant suites with her bridesmaids and family. Hair and makeup were expertly done by Flavia and Nicola, while her niece, the flower girl, brought sweetness to the preparations. Dylan and his groomsmen prepared separately, sharing laughs and anticipation for the day ahead.
One of the most heartfelt moments was the first look, where Andria and Dylan shared an intimate moment before the ceremony. This emotional exchange, set against the venue’s stunning architecture, set the perfect tone for the rest of the day.
Cortijo Bravo is a venue that works beautifully in any season, and this October wedding was a perfect example of that. The soft autumn light, combined with the natural surroundings and the venue’s architecture, created a calm and intimate atmosphere throughout the day. Even with cloudy skies, the light remained gentle and flattering, ideal for natural and timeless wedding photography.
Being close to Nerja and surrounded by countryside, Cortijo Bravo offers couples privacy, views and a relaxed rhythm that allows moments to unfold naturally.
A Magical Ceremony and Joyful Celebration
The ceremony took place under Cortijo Bravo’s iconic dome, with breathtaking views of the Andalusian countryside. Decorated by Lemonface with lush greenery and white flowers, the setting was serene and timeless. Andria walked down the aisle with her parents to I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You, while their dog Charlie charmed guests as the ring bearer.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cava and canapés on the Mirador Terrace. Andria and Dylan stayed for family photos before escaping for sunset portraits. The golden light of the Andalusian evening added a magical touch—exactly what every Cortijo Bravo wedding photographer dreams of capturing.
The reception featured beautifully styled tables by Sunshine Weddings, with heartfelt speeches, delicious cuisine, and a lively dance floor led by DJ Fuller. The couple’s first dance under the stars marked the beginning of a vibrant celebration filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable memories.
This balance between elegance and simplicity is what makes it such a special location for destination weddings in southern Spain.
